The Conscious Codependence™ Coach
I unconsciously gave 25 years of my life to Codependence.
That is to say that I was on autopilot. It was automatic. I saw other people as more valuable than me, more important than me and more desired than me.
I saw everyone else as gods that I felt diminished by. My mother looked at people this way and I acquired her lens. I felt like everyone treated me like shit – but maybe my feeling like shit came first and their behavior came second.
I don’t fully trust memories as an exact replica of what happened because the mind tends to bend and contort things with time & hindsight, but I do feel strongly that Codependence ran the trajectory of just about the first half of my life.
I’m free from it now and on a daily basis I support others in walking towards their freedom.
